I had an Osprey visit my pond last year for about a month. I could be on the pier and it would grab a fish out of the pond not 50 feet from me. I don't mind feeding it or it's family. Had a mature Bald Eagle here too, sitting in a tree over the road eating a fish. All the neighbors came by to take it's picture.

Now Great Blue Herons on the other hand? I have no tolerance for them.
